Funny, my Mac Mini (running SETI@home 24x7) uses about 35 Watts with both cores at 100%. That is with an external FW bus powered backup drive hooked up as well (which draws a few Watts by itself). APC might be lying to me about the draw, but somehow I doubt it.
Mind you, a Mini is still out of the projected price range anyway...
My understanding was that this was about when someone goes through Customs. That happens when you arrive in the country, not when you are getting on a flight.
It does, except when you come from Canada, where there's pre-flight customs clearance. And according to http://tinet.ita.doc.gov/view/m-2008-I-001/documents%5Ctop_20_countries.xls Canada is the top country of origin when flying into the US, so it affects a large number of people.

HDMI takes a simple problem and makes it an expensive and complicated one.
Instead of just using the MPEG2 input and decoder that the TV already must
have in order to deal with terrestrial broadcast, the TV is burdened with
a lot of extra bullshit like decryption.
So, because big content and cable companies want to turn the technological
clock back 20 or 30 years you turn what could have been a simple $30 device
mutates into a much more complicated $250 one.
Do you prefer to break into your house through the basement windows rather
than just going in by the front door?
i was a LS-120 fan personally. poor misunderstood superdisk....
Nah, it's Eeeevil Laptop Searches. That's it.
Nor could it possibly be the security theater hassle as a whole;
I traveled through Europe right through the Irish troubles and never saw so much BS.
Lunar cows?

Shakespeare is incredibly overrated. It's the Emperor's New Clothes effect. All those smart people think he's great, so you have to think he's great too or people won't think you are smart. In reality, his plays are nothing more than 16th century soap opera.
The tests of Bell's Theorem shows that no locally causal hidden variable theory is viable. This says basically that one of these must be the case
There are no hidden variables (i.e., true quantum uncertainty applies, and quantum mechanics is correct).
The speed of Light can be violated (i.e., there are hidden states that can exchange information faster than the speed of light). This implies, by the way, causality failures would be possible, so that in principle you could do something like kill your grandfather and prevent your own existence.
There is action at a distance (i.e., the theory is non-local).
Or, since we're talking about quantum states, it could be that any combination of the three and not the three are the case, only to collapse to one (or more) of them when you make your observation.
I fail to see how this is offtopic. Sure, it isn't flash based, but it fits the gist of the discussion.
You are correct. I get the chance to see AFM readouts at work (you see some really cool shit in a fab), and this is a bit higher resolution that I'm used to seeing, but the "shadow" is something you'll frequently see.
I've never "seen" the substrate from AFM scans at work either.
My USB flash drive is a whopping 256MB and seldom used.
I do regularly use the 4 and 8GB SDHC cards though. The DSLR camera chews up space like a mofo when you're shooting RAW.
What the gods would destroy they first submit to an IEEE standards committee.
